lol

did he get fired and lose his sponsors too?

[Williams]

Do not get the joke or the racism.

[Revolting cat!]

How do you spell ‘latrine’?

[ClearCase_guy]

I don't think it's offensive, but I also don't think it's funny. It seems quite gratuitous.

But who cares?

[dforest]

I am offended because I didn’t get the joke. I am supposed to laugh at a joke and I was not given the pleasure.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

I don’t understand. Bill Maher says some awful stuff and it’s OK because he is a comedian but Steve Martin is in trouble for this lame joke.

[Revolting cat!]

It’s a good, politically incorrect joke, anti-conservative compassionate.

[Ramius]

It’s actually a pretty good joke. :-)

If anything is fertile ground for making good fun of... It’s those ridiculous names that some black folk have been dreaming up for their kids. The wellspring of ignorance is too much... They —think— it’s Swahili or some such, but it’s just not. Sometimes there really is nothing left to do but point and laugh. Pretending they’re exempt from ridicule just makes it worse.

[MV=PY]

It’s so difficult to be progressive these days.

Where do they keep the current censorship rulebook?

[MeshugeMikey]

did he tweet in CURSIVE? now THATS Racess!

[vetvetdoug]

Good joke Steve. Go tell the sensitive Jacknapes to go pound sand.

[Secret Agent Man]

it’s racist WHY?

they have names like this.

or was he pulling it because he offended italians....?

[Avid Coug]

The Nazification of our country by the left. Once bullies get the idea that they can push people around, they keep going until the other side gives them one or two very unpleasant experiences and/or simply turns the crowd against them.

[Revolting cat!]

100,000 or more (a rough estimate) of young women and children in this country named after an outhouse (yes, I mean LaTrina's) and the rest of populace intimidated to the point where it won't dare to laugh at that!

[Smokin' Joe]

So, when does Cable TV get The Apology Channel?

Someone can apologize for pointing out what those using the exit for an entrance already presumably know, Someone else can apologize for trying to make people laugh who hold millennia old traditional beliefs who disagree with other people who have traditionally been viewed with social scorn.

Maybe there could be a guest spot for that person who said something, anything which taken out of context made them the target of the professionally offended who seek to have the rest of us as starry-eyed and gaga over their particular issue or behaviour as they think we should be, even as we vomit.

(Maybe they secretly get off on that, not that there is anything wrong with that...)

Or....

How about people just get off everyone else's butt (figuratively speaking) and mind their own d@mned business.

And If they really don't want to hear what people think, don't ask.

[Travis McGee]

Humor is against the rules in PC-land!

No joking allowed if anybody even might be offended!

[LittleBillyInfidel]

He gets a pass on this. After all, he was born a poor black child.

[logi_cal869]

Damned straight it was offensive. But I don’t understand the ‘racial’ component: I’m Italian. </sarc>

;-)
